Vid-Jeff Staple’s “1-2-1″ w/ Futura

Chasen Paper, 11 May, 2010

Futura drops napalm knowledge bombs on your villages.
“This is the fifth installment in the “1-2-1 w/jeffstaple” Series. Each segment, jeffstaple, Founder and Creative Director of Staple Design & Reed Space, talks to someone one-to-one. Direct. Intimate. No BS.

For this segment, Jeff talks to Leonard McGurr, better known as Futura.”

WAD is a magazine published out of Paris, France. It’s written in French and English and this issue stood out to me because it has been laid out in the most amazing way. The concept is a “Cahier de Texts” or a “Text Book” styled vibe complete with a professor’s red ink corrections. In Europe and Asia most text book paper is what we call graph paper, only overseas they use it for everything from writing to drawing to mathematics. Over the course of this 300 page volume they cover every topic in their tag line. My favorites were the Reebok Pump history, the interview with Jeff Staple and of course a little look into the process of making Japan’s Edwin jeans. Enjoy.
